Flood Risk Assessment

Sanderson’s were a great in helping us with our planning application for a new material silo at our manufacturing base in Sheffield. Darren was efficient and swift in his discussions with the council on the need for a flood risk assessment on the site. Darren’s knowledge of the site and surrounding area and consequent discussions with the council determined that we didn’t need one which has brought the timeline of our application forward by 3 weeks!

Thank you Darren

We have worked with Ashley, found the service very professional, efficient and cost-effective. We received the surveys and reports on time and were kept fully appraised with everything, excellent service all round. Recommend using Sanderson again in the future.

Thank you

Access Appraisal in Support of the Reinstatement of Access to a Residential Dwelling

Brett, I would just like to pass on my personal thanks for the assistance you offered us in our planning application to reinstate an unused driveway into our renovation property. From the initial contact with the office staff, through the quote and the carrying out of the road survey, drawings, and associated work through to the finished report we could not speak more highly of the service that we received. From start to finish the process was clear and timings prompt and you kept us informed every step of the way and querying any issues you encountered.

Please pass my genuine thanks to all the team including yourself of course it has been seamless, should I ever require your services again I will have no hesitation in contacting you.

Highway Technical Letter in Support of Residential Development

Excellent service, very professional and enabled a very positive response back to the Highways Agency with a site plan we were having difficulties with. I’d highly recommend Sanderson’s.

During the course of the compiling the report for submission to planning I found Adam Darwin’s attitude and approach was very professional and supportive. We had several issues to resolve and I found him to respond very quickly and produce revised drawing for discussion with an excellent turnaround time. His phone manner and advice were excellent in helping me reach a solution to the challenges and hopefully we will move the scheme forward with the appropriate authority. I have no reservation in recommending Adam and the team to any interested parties.

Good communication and persistence coupled with a high level of professional expertise, has enabled what looked initially to be an insurmountable objection to be overcome.

Swept Path Analysis, Modern New Build House, London

Sandersons were appointed to conduct our swept path analysis study for a modern new build house in London. We found the service personable, attentive and thorough. Further, when confronted by a design problem, they were creative and positively contributed to its resolution.

Transport Statement – Proposed Residential Development, Shipley

You were recommended to us for a housing site where you had previous experience of the neighbouring land. Every part of the experience was simple and positive and we have no problem recommending your services and consider you for further works. From us at Lumia Homes part of Incommunities Housing Association we would like to thank you.

We were very pleased with the service received and the positive outcome for our client, and would not hesitate to recommend for flood risk assessments.

Thanks very much for helping us with this project.

Technical Letter in Support of Residential Development.

Recently worked with Robert in order to turn round a planning application which was being recommended for refusal due to Highways objections at the eleventh hour. On this one we had to really think out of the box quickly to mitigate the concerns. Robert was instrumental in coming up with options and innovative ideas and working them through with Highways. The outcome was they went with one of the options and the application was then recommended for approval and subsequently approved. Looking forward to working with him on our next project.

Dave Greenwood, Norfolk

Stage 3 Road Safety Audit

The service provided was professional, direct to the point and alternatives were provided on discussion of the reports requirements, a user friendly service in every way to a legacy job with very little background information.

Thank you

Steven Johnston – Keepmoat Regeneration Ltd

Flood Risk Assessment, Proposed Residential Development

Thank you for your assistance on the Flood Risk assessment in relation to our works being carried out at the house.

I would like to add that I only called yesterday seeking advice on a flood risk assessment not knowing what it entails and you have acted extremely quickly. You listened and gave valuable, honest advice in accordance with the level of work required which shows your company is efficient, trustworthy and at the utmost very professional. You could have easily taken the work on and we would have been none of the wiser but instead you dealt with the request accordingly and proportionately to our construction and also took the matter into your own hands.

Furthermore I would definitely recommend Sanderson Associates to anyone looking for your services. Once again I cannot thank you enough.

Many kind regards, Catalina Clarke

Highways Advice, Proposed Residential Development, Micklepage Paddock

I would just like to reiterate my thanks, together with those of my clients, for all the work that you did in assisting to obtain planning permission for the above project. Highways had always indicated that being able to provide adequate sight lines onto the main road would be a major factor in determining this application. Following the traffic survey which you organised and the subsequent approval in obtaining County Highways acceptance was a large factor in the granting of permission. A great credit to you and your organisation – Many Thanks.
